Summary

• A new dashboard with enhanced analytics features was developed for a client. The dashboard includes dynamic elements and context-sensitive data filtering, utilizing client-side JavaScript, HTML, and CSS without server-side processing. It incorporates Google Charts for data visualization and is optimized for performance on Alpha Cloud.
• A litter tracking app using AI was developed. This app grades photos and includes a timeline filter feature for visualizing data changes over time. It will be deployed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) in the future.
• A new report manager is being developed to generate multiple reports efficiently. The report manager will allow for filtering options and date range selection, generating reports in HTML format and exporting them to Excel quickly. Data is fetched from a single database table called report definitions.
• Concerns were raised about the security of using AI tools for analytics. AI cannot be used on the front end due to data exposure risks, and Docker is being explored as a protective layer for local AI services.
• Users experienced issues with Microsoft account credentialing. The discussion highlighted the reliability of Microsoft cloud products versus local installations, emphasizing the importance of data and power backup solutions.
